What is Google TV? This is Google TV

We thought Google made a pretty good case for Google TV at its Google IO conference last month. But if you’re still having trouble explaining it to that special someone in your life — you know, wife, mom, whomever controls your money because you just can’t help yourself — Google’s worked up a great explainer video.

For you non-visual learners, Google TV will come baked into new Sony TVs this fall, and will also be available as an add-on set-top box. Then you’ll have access to the entire Internet, including a Webkit-based browser, and even Android apps. Want to watch a show? Search for it. If it’s on, you can watch it via cable or satellite, just like normal. Or you can tap into a show’s web feeds, and watch it that way, all on your TV. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
